Fast and Free Word Choice Writing Activity

July 12, 2015 by Teach Junkie

Help students become better writers with word choice. Here is a fast and free writing activity to help students improve their word choice. When 2nd, 3rd or 4th graders can identify commonly overused words, they can go for synonyms or more bold words to color their writing. This activity focuses on identifying an overused word in their own writing and working to improve word choice.
